Ducati studying “scientific simulations” to predict Marc Marquez’s performance

The MotoGP world ꧑will be watching Marquez’s every move next season when he swaps Repꦚsol Honda for Gresini Ducati.
One of the bi♔ggest rider moves in MotoGP history is expect🌞ed to give the current grid’s biggest star his best shot at winning a ninth world championship.
"We did almost scientific simulations,” Claudio Domenicali told about Marquez. “Comparing his performance with that of his brother Alex, who raced in hi🅰s current team.
“But I won't say the results even under torture…”
Ducati waited 15 years to return to the top of Mo💟toGP but, through Fran🍒cesco Bagnaia, have won two championships in a row.
This year the ma൲nufacturer totally dominated, with the three title contenders all representing different Ducati teams.
Domenicali predicted next year’s champion: "I choose Pecco: he's Italian, he races in the official team and with him there ꦗis a particular empathy.
“But Ma𝓡rc is a champion, if he is good enough to deserve the title we will be happy.
“He will certainly fight unt൲il the end for the World Championship.
"Marc will make us grow further: our other seven 🌞champions have begun to study the way he rid♌es.
“He will be a stimulus, an example. They will all become better.&♍nbsp;
“We will have greater internal co💫mpetition, our opponents' race for the World Championship🉐 will become more complicated.
“This year Jorge Martin learned a lot from Bagn𝔍aia, and Pecco will do the same with Marquez𒁏.
“We will continue to raise the level, have you seen Di Giannantonio? Six🐻 out of 8 Ducatis hav♓e won at least one GP.”
The Italian brand’s dominance means that new concessions rules have been introduced for 2024 to ♑aid their opponents.
Domenicali said about winning under new conditions: "It seems ꦕim𓆉possible. But we're trying.
“Our opponents have asked to chang♔e ꦍthe rules from next year, otherwise we're too strong for them. The organiser satisfied them.
“No problem, on the contrary: for us it is𝕴 the best marketing campaign."
